Resources on Norway's Royalty

By Sam Johnson

During his visit to Minneapolis, King
Harald V of Norway said:

"Norway
looks to its Sons and Daughters in the United States as a bridge between our
two cultures.Our countries’ efforts are at their
best when we combine them. We work together to achieve development, peace,
democracy and human rights in countries around the world...We are gathered
here tonight to celebrate what it means to be Norwegian and what it means to be
American. There is something special about each and every one of you, a
reflection of your combined Norwegian and American heritages.I wish you all
the very best in preserving these values as well as taking care of the pride
and awareness of your Norwegian ancestry. I am confident that these special
bonds of friendship will stay alive in the future.Tusen takk!"
